Can I Live?

sometimes you don’t know where you are
until you’re there, and it’s too late
it’s too late to find a better way
the time’s escaped
so let’s not lie
the stars are brighter on the other side tonight
the clock has died, but surely this cannot be over
the truth be told
the walls stare hard again these days
as if they knew everything
that’s not the case
you know that feeling when you’re floating
close to drowning when you’re hoping for something more
but when you look down you’ll find there’s just no way to turn
so let’s dig down, I guess it’s time we learned how to fly
there’s no pretending happy endings
when we’re trapped inside of our lives
so in the end
we’ll look back on distant times when we’d begin
to understand that life is only what we make of it
we’ve got to try
and then maybe we’ll see why
we try so hard to die
maybe we’ll see why
why we try so hard to die

Addicted to Faith

the temptation of desire, the worst of many flaws
I was beckoned by an angel or what I presumed to be
her touch concluded me
my stomach turns as I embrace
dishonest, deception, your lies become you
no it wasn’t worth it I will never trust again
never again
a part of what I thought was me has died
there's not a place to run to
there's not a face to turn to
remains of hope have buried us alive
how could I let it take me
love is a calamity
don’t say a fucking word
angel please don’t end me
a time of desperation, you’ve chained yourself to me
but I’m still fighting your resistance, the shackles broken free
now watch me walk away
my stomach turns as I embrace
dishonest, deception, your lies become you
no it wasn’t worth it I won't let this be the end
this be the end
never could I have predicted, I made the mistake
I walked into your arms
I instantly became addicted
addicted to faith, angel please don’t end me

Patience Is A Virtue

hold tight, breathe easy
we're starving ourselves with anxiety
constantly we’re trying to run
let's slow down and try walking sometime
looking back at my change of direction
I now can say that I have learned that she's not important
and I was foolish to care so much
why do we try so hard
when satisfaction is so close
these days it's hard enough to please myself
you'll just have to wait in line
sit down and take a number
we're all looking for our answers
and I'm still learning how to breathe again
turn around, take two steps back
there must be bigger worries
life is full of questions
we can answer them if we take the time
sometimes things don't work out
sit back and try to believe
focus, don't procrastinate
don't sidetrack yourself like I did
so let me be your reminder
and let me make the mistake for you
and I've learned she wasn't worth it
and I've learned patience is a virtue

My Intentions

i’m trying to mold this into something that works
i’ve been tearing down these walls I once stood
with these hands are calloused from failure
attempts of construction that never end
never
this assembly line can't move any faster
the steady course we’ve had is nearing its decline
unless we pick up production
I never wanted more than to be satisfied
but am I capable this feels so far away
so far that forever seems closer
it’s too late, i’m sorry
don’t believe the stories
i can't control what is said.
i’m here now for what it’s worth
i’m hurt and honest
explanations feel useless
and I can remember
the bliss of ignorance now
no need to compromise heart and mind
i’m spoiled by the opposition forced to face this endeavor
will I succeed in managing the impossible
someone help me out I’m miserable
believe this, if nothing else I’m true to my word
